Michigan (pronounced MITCH AGAIN in Jamaican) rides a nice piece of "Queen of the Minstrels" by himself. Sorry, the version was one of those throwaway stampers they use for a 45s b-side when they don't want to give away a great riddim.BOOMING BASSLINEShttp://www.badongo.com/file/16698339

This one is time-tested in the dance, people never fail to love it. Many of you will not understand these lyrics (about police brutality and the Sus. law), but ALL of you will bob back and forth to Black Solidarity's top quality cut of "Far East" underneath Ashanti Waugh's vocal.BOOMING BASSLINEShttp://www.badongo.com/file/16685318

This originally came out on the Priceless imprint, reality lyrics done like a dubplate over a dub mix of Techniques’ Stalag (aka Stagalag). The story goes that Winston Riley was angered by the 45’s release and demanded a meeting with Bounty and his crew. It is reported that both sides convened well-armed at Techniques and that the mood was tense. Later The Warlord emerged from the talk with a cool vibe, giving Mr. Riley the tune outright to press up for himself- For the b side they slapped on the original old cut of Stalag from a well-used stamper.

This one is another spinoff of GUNSOF BRIXTON, with influence from Fatboy’s production of JUSTBE GOODTO ME: Mostly Sly Dunbar messing around in the studio with some obvious samples, but the beat is strong and those dub hits on the B-SIDE (dubtronic mix) are HARD- A one shot experiment on the 5th Avenue South label-
